Thanks for that! Didn't realise there was a typo. It has been fixed accordingly. EDIT: We've resubmitted, lowered the goal and created a new demo using a different program. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/211610632/hurricane-paisley-the-interactive-story

BoA's song 'Hurricane Venus' had just come out when I was thinking of title names. I just loved the word Hurricane! Also, closer to the end of part 1 (there are 3 parts to the game) Paisley ends up obtaining some hurricane-like powers, so the name just stuck.

Aussies definitely stick together There are too many otome novels out there now. It wasn't until I was trying to promote mine that I realised I couldn't stand a chance in the massive wave. I decided to stick to my original idea and I'm grateful I did.

Yep! No harems for me this time My other game was going to be all over the place and couldn't decide what it wanted to be, so I've decided to stick with my original project, which is Hurricane Paisley.

As promised, a fresh topic for a visual novel game I'm working on called Hurricane Paisley. It's not an otome game! *cheers* https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/211610632/hurricane-paisley-the-visual-novel The demo is really clunky as I'm still learning ruby scripting but it gives an idea of the story and the way it will pan out.

Thanks guys for your support! Edit: I've actually cancelled the kickstarter now, as it has no demo and was not going to be successful. I'm focusing on my other project which HAS a demo, and is not an otome. I'll create a separate topic for it but here's the kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/211610632/hurricane-paisley-the-visual-novel

Thanks for that Sakimichi! I've played VNs for absolute years now but I've never really known about the communities out there. You've all been an absolute great help! If the project doesn't get off the ground, I'll definitely be resubmitting it, making sure to include absolutely everything that has been suggested.

Which tumblr account is it? Do you have the link?

I've added in some dialogue, just under the character info if you want to see some of the tense political situations you must face. It doesn't give away too much of the story either.

Yeah I just got told off. I've edited my post according to their rules now. I might add some dialogue later today, almost like a transcript and see how we go. I'll update here later when it's done.

Thanks nosebleed! That makes me really happy to know that it DOES seem appealing, that was my main concern. I know the stretch goal is quite a jump for voice acting, but I'm planning to do this properly hence it's such a high goal. I've noticed a trend with VNs that the same 3 emotions are consistently recycled and it makes me eventually stop playing the game. I'm determined to re-write the rule so that VNs become more enjoyable Your feedback is very much appreciated! Rooke: I'm not entirely sure how I could give an example without giving the story away. It pretty much reads like a book, that's all I can say. I did a major in English in my Arts degree so that's all I can really give you. Is there a way I can give an example without spoiling too much of it?

Hi Everyone! I just thought I'd let you know that I just started a Kickstarter campaign. I thought this was the most appropriate place to share it. Hopefully it lives up to the community's expectations. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/211610632/snow-petals-and-scarlet-an-interactive-story ~Florana
